Out of the many urgent things we desperately need, one (for the management) is:

BRING BACK THE FIRE AND GRIT IN MIAMI.

That’s the biggest concern, I kept saying for years now. Not the x’s and o’s. Not the “shall me put Koa Misi in coverage or having him blitzing in that situation”. If there was a team who desperately needed Rex this year, it was the Dolphins.

Not because he is a Football genius like Belichick, but because he certainly is a man who can round up a team to fight and die for him.

If one looks at the carousel of coaches through the revolving doors since Jimmy Johnson left (and since we stopped being a factor), we can see a lot of good guys, family men, personable, affable coaches, mostly ex successful coordinators.

The environment is already too good there for comfort. Some might recall which kind of Club Med franchise we were prior to Shula stepping up as HC. Well, welcome back.

Shula was notorious for his obsession with details and nothing less than, quote, ‘brutal’ ways. Listen to what Csonka or Griese have to say, since we talk a lot about 1972.
Through Shula’s tenure, you were coming to Miami and you were to face a tough, physical team who was playing relentlessly in a prohibitive weather, with 70-80 degrees feeling like 100 because of the humidity.

It was that kind of “Ohhh shit…” Sunday on your team schedule. Today is a much different story.

Today we are the ones who get gassed and start going to huddle fists on the hips, trying to figure out what happened while other teams just come swinging with some ABC, hard-nose, push-those-mothers-back type of football.

Nothing particularly elaborate in what the Bills did. They just came up for the kill, and they did it with a backup QB and a team who were featuring some less than 100% players and some key injuries.

Doesn’t matter, this is the NFL.

So, unless this season turns around somehow and we end up to the playoffs (it’s week 3, benefit of the doubt given), IF Philbin gets fired eventually I really want to see WHICH KIND OF GUY we come up with next (won’t mentioned here again that we had Todd Bowles, now with the Jets).

If they don’t bring in a true leader (not a football scientist, not a chess player, not an ex Superbowl participant), if they don’t find that man, all the talent in the world won’t save us.

The Miami Dolphins, as an environment and franchise, need a true leader more than anything else.

Let me repeat it: The Miami Dolphins, as an environment and franchise, need a true leader more than anything else.

These guys play like they just shot up some heroine before the game. What’s with the defenders worrying about getting dirty? On the Clay TD, I saw 3 defenders look like they were afraid to get dirty for the tackle.

For me this game is on everyone the front office the coaches and the freaking players who care more about their checks than you do about the hearts of the fans. or the heritage of this once great team this is unacceptable
